Sweet Gifts?

This has been a month of wonderful sweet gifts

and pleasant surprises.  I would like to share with you

these unique gifts.

"Ga day Mate" says this little stuffed kangaroo.

He was left for me, courtesy of Elder Prall the night he went

home.  He tucked it away so I would find it the next day

after he left for home.  I was tickled to find him.  He's so cute!

Then we were given these adorable little red cardinals from our

dear friends and fellow mission presidents, the Clarks.  They

were a gift for us when we flew into their fair city of St. Louis

for mission presidents seminar.  We had a wonderful visit,

Sister Clark and I,  A well needed visit.  I love that dear lady.

And last but not least, I guess this was a gift.  The night before 

Elder Wild (one of our assistants) went home, we played a friendly

game of win, lose or draw.  When we were done, I asked Elder Wild

to draw me something before he left, because of his amazing artistic ability.

Of all the things he could have drawn or the image he could have left,

he drew THIS!  

Whatever!  I love him anyway.
